This 19th-century plaster relief by Alexandre-Louis-Marie Charpentier portrays the Belgian sculptor Constantin Meunier. The artist uses a realistic style to depict Meunier in profile, capturing his strong features and rugged beard. The inscription "CONSTANTIN MEUNIER SCULPTEUR 1831" and the signature "A.C" appear around the sculpted head. This work is a fine example of portraiture in relief, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of their subject.
